IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Items of Local Interest Called from the Files of Former Issues of This Paper 50 Years Ago this Week From Gazette of November 29, 1873. The Odd Fellows Hall—Through the courtesy of E. W. Chaplin, we were shown over the building erected by the Odd Fellows of Anaheim. The upper story containing the Lodge room ante room and two other rooms, fronting on Los Angeles street, is complete in all its appointments and reflects a great deal of credit upon the mechanics engaged in its construction. The lower story, intended for a store, has not been entirely finished. The cellar has been prepared for the reception of the liquors of the new house of F. A. Korn & Co. who will occupy it no first of December. Altogether the building reflects great credit upon the Order, and presents the enterprise of Anaheim Odd Fellowship in a most favorable light to the brotherhood elsewhere. The case of Fischer vs. Bergson will come up in the supreme court in a few days. Sheriff Rowland will remain in town today to collect the state and county taxes. He will be found at the office of Judge Clark. The vintage of 1873 is rapidly drawing to a close. We are informed by the resident member of the firm of Ben Dryfus & Co. of New York that helm, Fairview, Santa Ana, and Richland assembled at the place of "tryet" Senator Marlay of San Jose delivered a few happy remarks at the school house. After a bountiful repast provided by the worthy matrons of the order an adjournment was made to the shrine of Terpsichore. All in all the Granger picnic was an occasion long to be remembered. 25 Years Ago this Week From Gazette of December 1, 1898. Masquerade Ball—The masquerade ball given at the Del Campo hotel on Friday evening last under the direction of Prof. Rechnitz was quite an enjoyable social affair. Gayly attired young damsels predominated, and the ball room when filled with maskers, presented an appearance of bowitching lovliness. The characters were as a rule well carried out and the usual surprises were in store for many when unmasking came. The orchestra composed of Prof. Craig, J. W. Whann, and Miss Middleham, furnished excellent music, to which the dancers tripped the light fantastic toe. The maskers were as follows: Miss Hilda Sellinger, Peasant girl; Miss Ida Sellinger, Peasant girl; Mrs. Cora Erdman, Goddess of Liberty; Miss Callie Carver, Old Time Dutch girl; Miss Edwardson, Peasant girl; Miss Laura Roller, Little Girl in Blue; Mrs. Louis Passmore, Little Girl in Blue; Miss Paschall, A Sweeper; Miss Probably one upon which to be immediate business is many people are confidence.

He will be found at the office of Judge Clark. The vintage of 1873 is rapidly drawing to a close. We are informed by the resident member of the firm of Ben Dryfus & Co. of New York that he will be through crushing by Friday of next week. He has almost one hundred tons of grapes still to arrive. The Challenge restaurant undergoes another change in its management on Monday. J. W. Callahan, the present manager retires and Robert Menzel enters upon a three year lease of the premises. Menzel will continue the bakery business but will close the restaurant department. Messrs Sacriste, Elliot & Co. of the Los Angeles Woolen Mills, have established a branch depot in this place for the sale of their manufactured goods. They offer woolen goods of every description, such as blankets, underwear, etc., besides different grades and styles of a very superior article, suitable for mens' business suits. They sell at one price for cash but at much cheaper rates than are usual with jobbers. Their place of business is on Los Angeles street beneath the Planters Hotel. The Ladies Social Club had another of their pleasing entertainments on Wednesday evening at the residence of P. C. McKinnie. The evening passed pleasantly as is always done under the management of our ladies. It was indeed a most enjoyable affair. Another reunion will take place on the third Wednesday of next month, in order not to interfere with Christmas festivities. Deeds filed—T. E. Schmidt and wife to N. H.

Born—In the Sears settlement, Nov. 27, to the wife of H. Rogers, a son. We were much pleased to meet again F. W. Hawley, of Chicago. Mr. Hawley wintered last year in Anaheim, and exhibited his appreciation of the climate and people by returning to it again. Wm. Fisher living near the Coyote creek, met with quite a serious accident a few days ago. He was chopping fire wood and his axe slipped, striking; the large toe of his left foot. A deep and painful cut extending the entire width of the foot and almost severing the toes, was the result. He was brought to the Pioneer Drug Store where he received every attention. Thanksgiving day at Tustin City—By a mutual arrangement among the members of the different Granges, the Sycamore groves of Tustin City were selected wherein to hold a social re-union on the day appointed as the one of national Thanksgiving. At an early hour old and young from Ana- The board of city trustees met in regular session on Tuesday evening—Present trustees Rust, Schwenckert, Helmsen, Dickel and Schneider. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. Trustee Helmsen reported the auditing of one bill of George Lock of $8.25 for pasturing a horse. Trustee Schwenckert of the Public Improvements committee reported the tank frame completed and that oil will be applied to the structure as soon as possible. The committee examined the ditch on West Street and ordered it closed. They also reported investigating a process for using oil for sprinkling the streets instead of water which now costs the city $1060 per year for about four miles of road. Committee was ordered to visit Long Beach and Alhambra where oil is used upon the streets and report as soon as convenient. In regard to canvassing for electric lights among residents near the German church on Broadway, clerk Nobelung reported that Mr. Fox would take several of the lights. H. C. Gade would take 4 or 6; Mrs. Bauer will take several and a number will be taken by the German church. The request of Dr. Johnston asking for one of the old street lamp posts to be placed in front of his newly rented Metz cottage on Los Angeles street was granted. The Doctor is to place the light at his own expense. Chairman Rust reported that John Hunter offered to furnish the city gravel from the gravel pit at Olive owned by the county at $1 per yard delivered and spread on the roads; the Committee given power to enter into an agreement to that effect. L. Goldwater was down from Los Angeles yesterday. Theodore Blumhardt drove through Center street yesterday at a rattling pace in his spring wagon and when in front of Bentz butcher shop one of the largest turkeys that have been seen hereabout this season dropped to the ground from the vehicle. The bird was for Fritz Ruhman but Fritz would have had no turkey had not some of the bystanders called to Theodore that he had lost his fowl. GOOD BUSINESS AHEAD Probably one of the best reasons upon which to base confidence in the immediate business future of the United States is the fact that a great many people are a little weak in their confidence. Because of this lack of confidence, they have been over-cautious, and the financial situation has none of the weak spots that made the slump of 1920 so drastic. Prior to the 1920 depression, all lines o findry had been running at full capacity and retail merchants, confident of the future, had loaded their shelves with goods bought at high prices. When the Wilson Administration, in the effort to fulfill its promise to cut the cost of living, started the deflation program, every feature of the situation were $11,000,000 greater than for the same month of 1922. In a recent resume of factors upon which to base the coinion that there will be sustained industrial activity, President Julius H. Barnes, of the United States Chamber of Commerce, recently enumerated the following: Largest pig iron production, largest cotton consumption, largest automobile and truck production, largest residence construction, largest production of locomotives largest volume of mail order sales, largest volume of retail sales, and largest volume of railroad car loading. Of course, the situation is not without its disappointing features. The wheat farmers have some company in the oil producers who are suffering the steady decline of prices, due to surplus production, as in the case of wheat. Lower gasoline prices will tend to increase the consumption and help to reduce the surplus. In no section of the country is there any complaint of unemployment. In fact, the complaint is that there are not men enough to do the work and there is clamor for the lowering of the immigration bars, a demand which seems to make no appeal to the Republican Administration. The people of the country not having engaged in any extravagant buying at high prices, there is no danger of a "buyers strike" to start an industrial reaction. RIGHT, BUT HOPELESS Chairman Albert E. Boynton, of the Republican State Central Committee, is out with a ringing declaration in which he calls the attention of the National Republican Committee to the fact that delegates to the national convention should be on the basis of the Republican vote cast, and by that measurement, California should have 39 instead of 28 delegates in the national convention next year. the southern representation in its tentative list of delegates, and gave California two more than the 26 that the strict basis would accord us. But 28 delegates will be all we will get in the convention of 1924. Wheat production in Europe outside of Russia, is 20 per cent greater this year than last. This accounts in large measure for the lessened demand for wheat from the United States. SUMMONS In the Justice's Court of Anaheim Township, County of Orange, State of California. Fred Peck and C. C.

Given under my hand this 20th day of October, 1923. confidence, they have been over-cautious, and the financial situation has none of the weak spots that made the slump of 1920 so drastic. Prior to the 1920 depression, all lines o industry had been running at full capacity and retail merchants, confident of the future, had loaded their shelves with goods bought at high prices. When the Wilson Administration, in the effort to fulfill its promise to cut the cost of living, started the deflation program, every feature of the situation was exactly right for destruction. Not only the merchants but farmers were carrying huge debts which their creditors called upon them to pay. Liquidation meant heavy losses. The lesson of 1920 has not been lost. According to all reports, retail merchants have been buying cautiously and in quantities such as they can reasonably expect to turn over without loss. Although the wheat farmers are in bad position, other farmers are prosperous. The agricultural loans made through the War Finance Corporation have been reduced from $350,000,000 to about $100,000,000. Loans from banks have been reduced and the farmer's interest burden lightened. Savings banks accounts have increased throughout the country, in farming regions as well as in industrial centers. The people of the country have been providing resources against a period of adversity, and this makes all the more unlikely the occurrence of such a misfortune. Current trade reports show freight car loadings at the present time more than 18 per cent greater than at the same time last year, the increase being recorded in every class of commodities except coal and coke. The largest increase is in forest products, which indicates a continued use of timber in construction. The freight car surplus is below normal, indicating the increase activity of cars, and this is made more significant by the report of a larger proportion of freight cars in serviceable condition. Building permits for September, 1923, RIGHT, BUT HOPELESS Chairman Albert E. Boynton, of the Republican State Central Committee, is out with a ringing declaration in which he calls the attention of the National Republican Committee to the fact that delegates to the national convention should be on the basis of the Republican vote cast, and by that measurement, California should have 39 instead of 28 delegates in the national convention next year. The point that Senator Boynton makes is that Southern States, where there is nothing of the Republican party but a "skeleton organization of professional job-holders," have no right to representation in the convention beyond the vote cast for Republican candidates in those states. Which is always small. Says he: I believe that it is the obligation and duty of the Republicans of California to demand their equitable representation in the national convention of their party next year and to insist that one of the delegates rightfully belonging to this state, as a result of overwhelming support it gave to the Republican ticket in 1920, shall be arbitrarily taken away from it and transferred to a group of traditionally Democratic states, which have no claim whatever to an important influence in the affairs of our party. From Virginia to Texas there is not a chance that a delegate in the national convention will represent one electoral vote at the finish. Then why permit their delegations to be seated in the convention and trafficked and traded by political influences wholly without their States? There is probably not a Republican State in the Union whose party conventions are held on any such basis, if they hold conventions. The invariable rule is to apportion the representation on the basis of the vote at a recent election. But, proper as it is, Senator Boynton need not expect to see the reform brought about.
